Then there were two

A Ford worth driving

We supported Patty Wetterling for Senate. It wasn’t hard. She’s a good person who wanted to be Senator for what she could do, not what she could be. But, for whatever reason–and many think she was pushed out by the national Democrats so they could clear the field for Amy Klobuchar to take on Mark (The Weasel) Kennedy without depleting her resources against a strong challenger for the nomination–she pulled out and endorsed Klobuchar.

But, as I once said, what’s the point of supporting Democrats if they’re just going to be a less bad alternative? All you have to do is look at Klobuchar’s website to see that she’s just as wishy washy about damn near everything as John Kerry. And you know where that got us.

Health care? By golly, Amy’s for it, only she thinks it ought to be cheaper and more efficient. Duh.

The war in Iraq? By golly again, Amy’s agin’ it–right up to the point where she thinks we ouught to pull out someday, in the future, when the time is right, when…well you get the picture.

What’s the alternative?

Ford Bell on health care? Single payer, now.

Ford Bell on the war? Pull out by next summer.

Bell may not have the DNC behind him, but at least he knows where he’s going. It may not be the Senate, but if Klobuchar gets there instead, it will just be more of the same Democratic wandering around in circles. That’s the Democrats’ chosen path, it seems.
